Course Description: The impact of attachment styles on eating disorder development has been explored. Additionally, several mediating factors (e.g., body dissatisfaction, neuroticism, maladaptive emotion regulation, depressive symptoms, etc.) likely increase eating disorders for individuals with insecure attachment styles. These concurrent issues were explored across clinical and non-clinical populations. The resultant findings may prove beneficial for eating disorder prevention and treatment efforts that target individuals with various attachment styles.
